We had an electrician come to the house today and install a 220v lead in the kitchen in anticipation of replacing our gas stove with a new electric. Beth had a smooth top electric stove in Arkansas and liked it a lot, and hates the stove we have now. It doesn't work very well. Beth always called it an Easy-Bake Oven. That's not far off the truth. So as soon as we can I'm getting Beth a new stove.
